"Hello! Anyone here! Hello! Lady need of assistance here!" Ah, Dionysus thought, one of the Olympians, as he felt a holy aura, it was sweet with a touch of spice and it was full of sensual energy. He would place his bets that it was Aphrodite that just walked in. He had been sleeping in the bar area and slowly got up, straightening his clothes, brushing off the dirt, and fluffling his hair back a bit. "Hi there! Over here, miss!" Dionysus called out, deciding to feign ignorance on the fact that she was a goddess. "Welcome, I am Dylan East, at your service. It is a bit early, but I can mix you up a drink to your liking if you wish. And what did you need assistance in? You look a bit distressed... would you like a massage?" A door opened and closed as the elderly gentleman walked by, smiling, he welcomed Aphrodite and went into another room, no doubt an office where he did business. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira paused and looked back down at the boy curiously. "Apollo," she repeated. "Like the Greek God?" She smiled and traded in her small novel for a larger book, it's leather binding worn from use. A book of myths. ---"Interesting name," she said, staring at her book for another moment before turning to the boy again with a smile. "I'm Kira." ---"God of light and the sun; truth and prophecy; medicine, healing, and plague; music, poetry, and the arts... is that right," she mused. "Do you know anything about those myths?" It occurred to her that she was beginning an actual conversation with this man, something she usually avoided, but... she sighed. She wasn't sure why, but she wanted to. |

"hmm nice name" Apollo smiled at her as she was reading the myths "well that book seems to know alot about the gods, but of course all that's myth. We know the gods arn't real" looking at kira while he speaks in a sarcastic manner. He knew he could just say to her that he was really a god, she would look at him as if he's a crazy man. Apollo noticed the look on her face "so tell me then, how would you look at me if I told you I was a god?" he started thinking to himself father might not be happy about that one, but who cares I never did follow the rules. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---At the first thing he said, Kira sighed and gave a somewhat longing look at the book she held in her hands. "I suppose so..." she said, trailing off. She had never been a religious person, but anything was possible, she thought, and she had always had a soft spot for these gods. ---When he asked how she would react, she stared at him with raised eyebrows for a moment before saying, "Well, I don't know. I'd probably think you were crazy, that seems sensible, but I don't know you well enough to judge. You could be joking, or insane, or for all I know you could really be Apollo." ---She swung down from the tree and leaned against it's trunk, smiling at him as she hugged her book. She had thought something was strange about him, and now it seemed even more apparent now that she was closer. Huh, maybe he is a god, she considered, head tilted slightly to the side as she studied his red eyes. H*ll, the majority of the world believes they'll go float above the clouds if they're good, and burn under the earth for eternity if they die. Is it so hard to believe? |

Apollo couldn't help but laugh a little when he noticed the look on her face "well I have been accused of being a little insane...or was that something else?" Apollo couldn't help but wishing to joke around with this girl. As Kira jumped down from the tree he looked at her harder now that she's closer "well well arn't you a pretty lady" looking at her eye's. Apollo was trying to think of something good to say but nothing came to mind "hmm well i wish i was good at thinking of something to say so i'll say this..." he paused for a second "I am.....very very hungry" couldn't help but chuckle a little "i'm sorry, i'm sure you thought i was going to say i'm a god" . Apollo looked at her up and down trying to get a read on her but he couldn't get anything. "you wouldn't mind if i seen your book would you?" Apollo asked in a kind tone |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira's gave a small, half-smile at his joke. When he said she was pretty, she raised her eyebrows again and gave him a surprised look. "Thank you?" She was never very good at receiving compliments, she thought with a sigh. ---"Oh! Sure," she said with a smile, handing him the book. "I'll be right back." she walked a few yards away, then swung into another tree. After a moment of disappearing in it's leaves, she returned with two red apples. ---"Catch," she said, tossing one apple to the boy. She bit into her own with a healthy crunch, wondering why she was being so nice- well, nicer than usual. Why was she even talking to him? |

Apollo was happy to see she didn't mind the compliment, he wasn't really sure what to think of her but he wasn't thinking of that at the time. When Kira handed him the book, Apollo started to look through it and noticing all the gods that are in it landing on the page with his father "well figures he would be shown and talked about as some humble high and mighty god" kind of laughing as he was speaking outloud. He looked up from the book and noticed Kira wasn't around "well that was weird, always me disappearing on a girl but never the other way around" not sure what's going on. When he looked around he seen her jump down from a tree "she might get along with Artemis as much as she jumps in tree's" smirking a little. She was walking closer and he noticed apples in her hands, she threw one to him and he cought it. He looked at it and was kind of happy to have it "thanks for that" Taking a bit into the apple and noticing it was kind of fresh "I may be really hungry but i forgot how good apples are". Apollo looked back at Kira "here's you're book" handing it back to her "so Kira what god would you say you like the most? or in other words can relate to the best?" he was wondering since she had the book which god she would favor. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira nodded when he talked about the apple. "No problem," she said plainly as she took the book and returned it to her bag. She glanced at him curiously at the question, then looked away, considering. "Well, I like all of the gods- well, except for a few... but I've always preferred Artemis and Athena, I guess, and I'd like to think I was a bit like them, but I doubt it..." ---"Apollo's interesting, too," she said, smiling at him. "I wish I could relate. Though he seems a little girl-crazy." ---"Well, what about you?" |

![]() Inside the Ladies' Club Aphrodite looked at the man who answered her calling. She went over the bar and finally knew the source of what she had felt earlier. There was no doubt in her mind that he emitted a ever familiar presence of being a God. A mixture of omniscient with the dabble of extravagance and pleasure. It was no mistake that in front of her was an Olympian much like her. In such close proximity, she could not have done any mistake. However, what is with the name 'Dylan West? "Distress? I am not only in such a state. Anger and wrath are the emotions reigning within me. It would be better if I become a Goddess of War at the moment." The Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sexuality said with much annoyance that was accompanied by a slight pout. It only made her looked adorable than flirtatious where she was more accustomed to the latter. Finding a seat, she rested herself upon it and noticed an elderly man entering. He greeted her which was the show of his courtesy. Although, she had always been seeing old men for a few number times already. Fortunately, the Olympian calling himself in a name of a mortal was not of an old guise. "A massage would be nice, I believe you would be perfect in that Dylan and do prepare for me an Ambrosia. If not, why not give me some of your infamous wine Dionysus." A gleam of mischief was apparent within her eyes. It seemed despite her change of appearance. The flirtatious and manipulative Aphrodite had remained as active as she could be. It is fine is it not? After all, she had been coming down from their realm to this one in the old times of their worship to satiate her interest of the human males. She would always be the epitome of sexuality whatever she may appear to be. |

"aah Artemis yes yes she is an interesting goddes always felt something from that one as for Athena..." Apollo laughed a little "she is such a tough god for anyone to get too" Apollo chuckled at the comment of him being a little girl crazy. He looked at her trying to think "i guess the god I like the most would be Apollo. Now i'm sure your asking why cause I love music,poetry, the light and sadly I am kind of girl crazy in a way" He started to mess with the ring that he has on his right hand. He looked down at his hands then back up while brushing the hair out of his face "So Artemis and Athena hmmmm...what if you know for the sake of saying i'm a god I could have you meet the both of them?" he was wondering how she would react. It would be kind of hard for him to show his own powers at such a time to prove he's a god but he doesn't want too do that yet as is. Looking at Kira "I dion't want you to think i'm crazy for saying this, but i know you noticed something about me, its kind of a given if you ask me" Apollo speaking with more of a serious look on his face. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---"Well, theoretically," she said, leaning once again against the tree she had been in before, "If you were a god and I could meet them... I would be excited, shocked, and nervous. I guess. Why?" It was a strange question, and strange how he spoke of the gods, but she wasn't exactly surprised by it. Nor was she surprised by his favorite god, she thought with a smile. It was fitting, after all. ---She straightened up when he took on a serious tone, staring at him with her full attention. "Well... I guess I did..." she began, thinking. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say what she thought it might be, but... "Never mind. It's impossible." She looked away, banishing the thought to the back of her mind. |

He knew that she sees it and now he won't give until he gets her to speak. "well i guess I just wanted to know i guess, its not everyday I get to ask someone a question like this" letting out a sigh he looked at the sky then back down "I know it sounds weird but their isn't any reason why you should be nervous when you meet them" Apollo looked down at his feet as he put his hands in his pockets. Apollo walked closer to Kira, looking at her right in her eye's with his face close to her's "come now, I want you to say what you were going to say" Apollo never felt weird when he got to close for his own good. Still looking at her in the eye's he started to think "this girl is strang but I can tell she wants to say what's on her mind" . Apollo laughed a little as he pilled his face back "the gods are weird and the two you like so much will like you" he could tell she was like the both of them by the way she acted. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira leaned back with wide eyes when he got so close to her, and when he pulled away she vaguely considered hitting him. It's what she would usually do if someone did that... but she decided against it. She was sure he didn't mean anything by it. ---"You act like you know them," she said, studying him. "Are you... um... this will sound crazy, but... oh, f*ck it, you know what I'm going to say, don't you?" She crossed her arms and continued to stare at him, waiting for a response. |

Apollo laughed while rubbing his head "yes i'm sure your going to say i'm a god and if you belive me or not I am the god Apollo" he took a bow. standing up straight again and taking the last bite of his apple he had "so would you by any chance like to meet Artemis?" He said Artemis first because Athena would be hard for him to get ahold of to right now. "I know this is weird but if you don't think i'm telling the truth you can walk away and not look back" Apollo still laughing a little. But he couldn't shake the feeling that somethings wrong. He looked up at the sky "Zues when you took me away from where I was, what did you do to the other gods?" he was speaking quietly. He looked back down at kira "so thoughts?" |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira's eyes widened. She had half expected it, but it was still shocking to actually hear it. The god Apollo, in the flesh? Should she bow? Curtsy? Something? Never mind that, was he even telling the truth? He could be lying, or crazy, or... well, she wasn't sure what to think. She stood staring at him for a moment, gaping slightly, before finally closing her mouth. Though she assumed a more natural expression, her eyes were slightly wider than usual, and she continued to stare at him. ---"Well... I'm sure you can understand if I'm not completely convinced," she began, stuffing her hands in her pockets and taking a step closer. "But... I'll come." I will? She was surprised that she wanted to. After all, he was a stranger claiming to be a god. Shouldn't she be running away or something? But it was intriguing, and shocking, and what if it was true? Look at you, telling yourself 'it could happen' and following a stranger who you have no reason to trust. Idiot. She shook off the thought with a frown. Stupid or not, she decided to follow him. She could handle herself if he turned out to be dangerous, right? And there was something about him... |

Apollo turned around with his back facing her "well I can't blame you for thinking i'm crazy but maybe if I could find a dead bird then maybe I could bring it back to life" he started to laugh. Walking forward he stopped and looked at the people that were around. He turned around and looked at kira now with his hands on the back of his head "you sure that you want to follow? you don't know if its the truth, and i'm sure it all sounds so fake to you. A god Apollo! here in the flesh, talking to you? That isn't weird to you at all?" he wasn't really sure why he was asking all of this but it never hurt to ask something. Turning back around with his back facing Kira, he reached into his pocket and looked on his phone. But before he did anything with it he turned back around "tell me something do you have any clue how to unlock this thing? this is the forst time it did this and i don't know what to do with it" laughing at himself. "I hope you don't find me dumb for this, just never kept up with things like this" he was hoping she knew. |

![]() Matthew Zimmerman; jettsetter extrordinaire Location: in an alley; South Bronx, with Athena and Posiden. Matthew's eyebrow twitched slightly when the strange man snaked his arm around his waist. His body twitched uncomfortably in his grasp. "...." As he tried to escape from this hold, Matthew managed to stutter; "W-what do you mean? Who are you anyway?" Why was he saying "no hospital"? Where was he going to take her? An injured woman! Was this guy some kind of sleazy geezer? (Although, something about the well-dressed man told Matthew different. Long, wavy blond hair, well-defined muscles [holy biceps!], and a very expensive Armani suit. The only thing betraying his age was a long white beard. Who was this guy? He was definitely not from around there; at the very least, Matthew had never seen him before.) |

![]() Location: Only Zeus knows... Athena was not shocked as the man tapped into her mind with his voice. Her face did not betray her inner feelings as she tried to calculate who it might be. From the long beard and the muscles, Athena figured it was Poseidon who stumbled upon this mess of a situation. She pursed her lip at him, gripping onto the emblem with the symbol for Olympus on it with care. She eyed him cautiously. You shouldn't be foolish enough to say such things in front of a human. Someone in my condition would usually need the hospital, Athena scolded just as the boy began asking questions. She yearned to say "I told you so" but refrained from doing so. Athena sighed. "Calm down and get in the car so you and I can get to the hospital," she said, giving Poseidon a warning look, daring him to say otherwise. Once the boy was in the ER, she'd slip away to rest at the hotel but for now, she had to keep up the act or else blow their cover. Who knew what the humans would do if they found out the Greek gods were among them! She didn't want to find out. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira's eyes bored into him for a moment, betraying no emotion, before she sighed and shook her head. "You act like I wouldn't consider that before following a stranger. I'm not stupid," she said blankly, "Though my actions may say otherwise." ---Kira took the phone wordlessly, pressed a button, and handed it back to him within a few seconds. "It's not dumb," she said. "You wouldn't have any reason to keep up- well, if you really are... you know." She had never had a phone herself, her mother having barely enough to afford her shabby apartment, but her old so-called friends didn't have any shame when it came to stealing cell phones for themselves. ---That brought her back to thoughts of the past, her mother kicking her out, leaving the gang, just this morning... she tentatively fingered the new scar on her left cheek, shaking her head. Stupid that she managed to get it, the jagged line running down the side of her face, sealed with dried blood. It didn't matter that she had been asleep, she thought, chastising herself. Weakling. She sighed. Never mind that, she had other things to think about now, the foremost being whether or not she should believe this boy. |

Your father may be Zues dear Athena, but you should know better than to scold me. He raised his eye brows at her dissaprovingly then shook his head. He walked them over to his car and had them wait outside while he cranked it up. He flipped a switch on it and the top began to fold up and into a compartment in the back. "You boy in the back, You up front." He turned to the boy "my name is Poisiedon, I am a bit of an eccentric so obviously that is not my birthname. I promise you I bear no ill will towards either of yall so please get in." When the two were safely in the car he stepped on the gas. As they were speeding through the streets of the Bronx he turned on some music. It was a string quartet with gentle water sounds in the back ground. He doubted the two would like the music, none of the other Gods save for Apollo liked his taste in music. He was going dangerously fast taking sharp turns at seventy miles an hour. He never seemed to lose control of the car though, this was like a second nature to him even though he had never actually driven before. He slowed the car down as the hospital came into view. He pulled into the hospital and parked his car in the emergency lane. |

Grabbing the phone he couldn't help but get a worried look on his face "ok ok I got it just don't bite my head off" chuckling a little after he spoke. He looked in his phone and texted Artemis again "hey sis where are ya?" sending the text. now all he could do is what for her to send something back "well I guess we wait for my sister Artemis toooo well text back. But in the mean time" Apollo started to whistle "I don't know what should we do?" he wasn't always the best at coming up with something to do. He whistled as he looked at Kira, still trying to figure her out but not doing a very good job at it. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Artemis... it was still weird to hear him say it so casually. She sighed. She would get used to it eventually. "What to do? Well, I should probably wash this out," she said, pointing to the caked blood on her face. "But, ya know, it's just going to bleed more, so I'll just find something to patch it up later." With that, she sat cross-legged at the tree and pulled her book back out, now completely ignoring the wound- things like that never bothered her, no matter how severe. ---She wanted to ask Apollo- well, the boy claiming to be Apollo- millions of questions, and freak out about meeting Artemis- someone who claimed to be Artemis- but she crammed them into the back of her mind. She still had plenty of doubt, and she would only ask all of that once she was convinced, if she was convinced. |

It didn't dawn on Apollo until he noticed Kira say something about the wound on her face. He turned back around and started thinking "well I don't have the full strength to bring someone back to life BUT I could heal that little wound on her face" Apollo turned back around with a weird look on his face like he had the best idea in the world and it kind of was. He looked at Kira and walked over to her as she sat on the ground. He stood over her as he looked down, Apollo reached out and put his hand on her cheack and something like heat started to come from his hand. Slowly Apollo was healing the wound on Kira's face. After about 10sec Apollo pulled his hand back to see if it worked and it seemed it did. Apollo stood back up and looked smiling "so tell me how is that wound on your face now?" he was sure if this didn't convince her then the only thing that could is brining the dead back to life and if that didn't work then nothing would. "I hope I helped fix that pretty face of yours, the best I could do with little power i was left with" he started to laugh after he spoke and hoping his sister would get back to him soon. |

~Kira Robertson~ ---Kira's eyes widened again and she stared at him, uncomprehending. "Wha... how did you... holy sh*t, you really are a god, aren't you?!?" ---She continued to stare at him for a moment, touching the former wound- now a small, barely visible line- then quickly stood up, shoving her book back in her bag. What's it like in Olympus? What are the other gods like? Why are you on Earth? She shoved those questions and a thousand others back, and continued to stare at him, frozen. She stayed like that for a long moment, before looking away, a hand on her head. "F*ck, I must be going crazy." |

Apollo leaned back a little kind of confused "well yes yes i am" he wasn't sure how she would react but he was hoping it was something with more screaming and jumping for joy. Apollo went on another side of the tree and sat down next too Kira "so now you know i'm not lying, can't believe you thought a face like this would lie in the first place" laughing after he said that. He knocked on the tree as he looked straight ahead "I'm sure you have some questions you feel like asking? anything at all to pass the time?" he was hoping that he wouldn't just be sitting under a tree waiting for his sister to text back. Still looking off with into the distance but now with a blank look he started to go into deep thought I wonder how long we're going to be here? I can't even remember what i did to make father angry at me..... Apollo was missing his old look at the time but now he has someone to hang around with on earth so it isn't all that bad. Plus he loved to be on earth just wants his old look back. |
